GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                 13 JANUARY 2020


24.   A new 2.0m wide concrete path must be constructed along the Kauri Street and Olivine
      Street frontages of the site in accordance with an Operational Works approval and to a
      desirable and smooth alignment for the comfort of users and protection of trees identified in
      this permit for retention. The new path must be in compliance with IPWEAQ standard
      drawing SEQ R-065 Concrete Pathway Construction Details. The works must be provided
      as part of Stage 1 of development and include:
      24.1. A sufficient number of pram ramps to be provided near the intersection of Kauri
            Street and Olivine Street where identified by Council to connect to existing and
            proposed pathways network.
      24.2. A pedestrian pathway connection 1.5m wide from Kauri Street’s public pathway into
            the development site to be located north of proposed Unit 9.
      The above condition is imposed pursuant to s145 of the Planning Act 2016 being non-trunk
      infrastructure
The proposed changes to the access arrangements result in consequential amendments to
condition 2, 14 and 15. Condition 2 relates to the approved set of plans whilst conditions 14 and
15 relate to site access. It is necessary to remove reference to Kauri Street access from
conditions 14 and 15 with amended wording identified in red below.
14.   Vehicular access driveways to serve the development shall be constructed from the Olivine
      Street frontages of the site generally in accordance with the final approved layout plans and
      as annotated by Council and amended by the conditions of this permit and in compliance
      with the applicable engineering standards and drawings.
24.   Two sealed access driveways must be provided from Olivine Street frontages of the site to
      all parking and manoeuvring areas of the development generally in accordance with the
      final approved layout plans as annotated by Council and amended by the conditions of this
      permit. The works must be undertaken in accordance with an Operational Works approval
      and must include in particular:
      15.1. Driveway crossovers generally in accordance with IPWEAQ standard drawings R-049
            and R-050, and to grades that prevent vehicles from scraping and/or bottoming whilst
            also allowing for compliant grades and levels that match any existing or proposed
            pathway and grassed verge without posing trip or safety hazards to the public.
      15.2. For pedestrian safety on the footpath and vehicles exiting the site, the driveway and
            any associated fencing or vegetation near the driveway must comply with the
            minimum sight line requirements as defined in AS/NZ 2890.1, section 3.2.4.
      15.3. The proposed driveway must have a maximum width of 6m at kerb line.
      15.4. Driveway must have clearance of 1.0m from a power pole and 0.5m from and any
            service pit or manhole (e.g. telecommunication pit, water meter) unless a written
            approval obtained from the relevant provider.
It is noted that the plans include 1200mm wide pathways adjacent to the Olivine Street
crossovers. This type of infrastructure is not supported within the road reserve where a crossover
exists as the crossover facilitates access to the site. It is therefore recommended that a notation
be included on the plans advising that these pathways are not approved
Earthworks
The submitted plans demonstrate that there are some changes to earthworks. These changes
are minor and generally in the order of 200 – 300mm. A more significant change is required in
the north-western corner of the site in the location of unit 8 where it is proposed to raise the floor
level of the dwelling by 650mm. This change is reflective of the amended grade in this part of the
site resulting from the removal of the access. The minor change results in a minor increase to the
overall heights of the buildings. The buildings have a new maximum height of 5.79 metres. The
minor change to the extent of fill raises no concerns.
